THE G0VERNESS.

"Angeline!' cried Mrs. Duncan, as
she fluttered into her daughter bou-
doir, "what shall I do? I've just re-
ccivcd regret from Madam Boutelle,
and l don't know what in the world
am to do with the count"
"You're sure he is coming2" queried
Angeline, anxiously.
ooh, yes! He's all right-the dear
fellow l had the sweetest note from
him, saying that he would be charmed.
But now that M,dam Boutcllc isn't COM

him. Angelinc, l wish you would give
little more attention to your French"
'I have just been taking lesson,
mamma" AngeIinc replied. Made

Mrs. Duncan glanced at the little
French governess, hitherto unnoticed,
and said, patronizingly:
II hope you will take great pains
with her pronunciation, mademoiselle.
I always said that French did not
amount to much without pronun-
ciation."
"There is no language which does, I"
replied the little governcss, quietly.
"Of cours, not! Angelinc, are you

"No, madam, will not forget"
She quilted the room with a bow and
bearing that showed she had not always
been mere teacher of French to young
children and giddy girls. Indeed, there
had been time when the old La Fonte
family had stood to all Provence as a
type of the bluest blood of France. But

81 will do my part" said Valerie,
warmly.
And the count, having taken her
hand in his, found occasion to hold it
awhile.
Valerie was much happier now that
she had found friend among her own
countrymcn. The long evenings slipped
by quite gaily. The count took her to
the opera, and they had many pleasant
jaunts together.
1t was one morning in February that
Mrs. Duncan called upon mademoisalle
to announce to her that her services
would be no longer required as gov
erness.
~ cannot offer any encouragement to
any young woman who behaves as you
do" said the lady, finally.
Valerie was utterly taken back; but
before she could reply, tall, courtly
figure appeared in the doorway. 1t was
the count himself.
MADAM" he said, bowling, "the
future Countess de Beaupre has no fur
ther need of your patronage"
"Countess de Beaupre" was all she
could gasp.
And Valerie soon found herself
standing alone, bcwildered, in the
middle of the room, while the man she
loved was holding her hand and saying,
tenderly:
"Valerie, darling, you will let me
verify that statement-will you notl !
love you with all my heart. Will you
take it, and my title and mea l want
you so badly"
And as for Valerie, it could not have
been "no' that she answered, for two
months later, at the Hotel Vale ntino, in
Paris, were registered the names of the
Count and Countess de Bcaupre. -[Sat-

A Tear.Shedling Tree.

The Kagashi tree of the natives of In.
dia is described as a tree that really
weeps. If an axe-cut is made in the bark
of one of these trees in spring, the sap
flows from the wound in great stream;
and whenever an opening in the bark is
made, the fluid escapes for considerable
time. These facts are given by recent
observer, who mentions noticing great
drops falling from one broken branch at
the rate of one second, the tree having
been in weeping condition for at least
ten DAYS.

PhOsphOrescence,

The cause Of phosphorescent light, as
we'll as its nature, is, In many cases, a
puzzle alike to the common and scientific
observer The light comes from very
different sources. Tho appearance Of
any fish that is partially decayed gives
tho most common example. In the case
ofsuch decay, the light may be attributed
to the PHOSPHORUS set free. But the
samo name is given to the light emitted
by the glowworm or the FREELY. In this
case there is no such decomposition Of
elements.
The phosphorescence of the sea is
referred to the presence of minute
meduse-crcaturss Of tho simplest or
gauism. There are some species of fun
gus that are producers of light. In
these instances it seems to be result Of
the functions of life, rather than a phe-
nomenon accompanying death. This light
is given off in some instances where tho
decay does not seem likely to liberate
any phosphorus, and where, if any fun
gus is growing, it cannot be detected
easily. A Scotch writer, Mr.. W. A.
Smith, tells how he was surprised at tho
appearance of piece Of fir wood. In
this country decaying maple log, lying
in wet place, yields the best results.
''During our walk through the woods
the other evening"" says Mr.. Smith,
1--WE came upon what appeared to
be a salt herring lying in the
road. On turning it over with
our feetit seemed sloppy, and we fool
ishly passed it. A few yards farther on
another brilliant streak of light attract
cd our attention, and we this time de-
cided to attempt its capture. A piece
of paper was employed, to prevent an
unpleasant meeting, and we then lifted,
most circumspectly, what proved to be
neither moro or less than piece of
Scotch fir from one of the fallen trees
alongside. Apparently new break
was the phosphorescent surface, and the
night being wet as well as dark, we
supposed this had some influence. After
drying it next day we again tried it in
the dark, and it still showed brilliantly;
SO the wet had nought to do with it. I'm
der lens no fungus could be seen, only
the rough, broken fibres on the sur
face Youths Companion.
